Hi Phil, I have just read through your document. Excellent work, very well put together.

I did note two small typos that you may want to fix though:

1.  On page 5 it reads: "The 5GHz AP is at -63.6dBm and the 2.4GHz AP is at -71 dBm, maintaining the 7.4 dBm delta."

- This is back to front, the 5GHz AP is -71dBm and the 2.4GHz is -63dBm (the 2.4GHz AP has the stronger signal if I'm not mistaken)

2. On page 7. "The site survey would have specified -65dBm coverage and 80 Mbps channels"

- this should read 80MHz wide channels, (not 80Mbps channels)

Best Regards,

Mark

Page9: The key point to understand here is the bottom right figure of 270 networks found    should be   bottom (left) figure

Interesting to see on page 10 where the WiFi Explorer scan taken at a UK airport has a number of networks using U-NII-3 bands ....
